Forget Keeping up with the Kardashians... it's time to keep up with Kendall Jenner's love life.

After denying growing rumours that she was gay in an interview with Vogue earlier this year -- coming out with a simple "I don't think I have a bisexual or gay bone in my body!" -- the reality star and model is now dating Aussie basketballer Ben Simmons, according to The New York Post.

An insider said the romance has been going on “for a few weeks" and comes after Simmons, who plays for the NBA team Philadelphia 76ers, was only recently confirmed to be in a relationship with singer Tinashe.

Seems that one went off the boil, with rumors that the soon-to-be-rookie of the year basketball star dumped singer/model/actress Tinashe because she was on some "Kardashian shit," like "calling up paparazzi."

Time, it seems (like, weeks, right?) change a lot ...

The criminally good-looking Jenner, 22, and Simmons, 21, were allegedly spotted on a lunch date at the Beverly Hills Hotel this week, and another source said they were also seen last week in Manhattan with a group of friends at the hip eatery Vandal.

“Security measures seemed to have been taken to ensure Kendall and Ben enjoyed their night hassle free,” a witness told Page Six. “They were smiling the night away with their friends.”

Kendall has a history of dating basketballers -- she recently broke up with another NBA star -- former LA Clippers player Blake Griffin.
